My favorite is an old clock I got from an old cottage I was renovating. I broke the glass on it but it still worked so I propped it up on the wall to help me keep time. I worked for months with that clock on the wall, never changed the battery and just thought, I'll keep it until the battery dies ... I thought it was just some old cheap thing that wouldn't last.
I renovated for two years and the clock kept ticking, I grew to appreciate it decided to keep it. It survived I don't know how many -40, -50 degree winters frozen solid and it still kept time. In the spring I think I adjusted it for a ten or fifteen minute correction (allowing for daylight saving time).
I finished renos and now the clock is in the living room and I'll never get rid of it, it's part of the building now as far as I'm concerned.
20 years later and the clock is still there and I've only changed the batteries twice, maybe three times. I changed the batteries so few times, I can't remember the last time I did.
What a pleasant story, good for you and your clock.
I went through a few cheap quartz clock because it drain the battery so quick i started to wonder if the battery i bought is bad. Then i decided to get an ikea one, which cost just a little bit more and the same brand of battery still running the clock a year later.
It kinda reminds me of the clock when i was a kid, we didn't really need to change the battery for two years. Thing nowadays is so cheaply made it's basically buying plastic and ewaste.
